Default Jarrahdale squash color changing

i've kept my Jarrahdale inside since the temperatures went below freezing at night so it's at 60-62 degrees. i got it in mid september and it is changing from a solid gray to a paler gray with orangish tones starting to appear on the skin. it is still rock hard.

is it getting sweeter or losing it's flavor as this color change occurs? how much longer will it store before going bad? also how would you describe the taste? are they sweet? dry?

i never had one of these and know nothing about them. i wanted to eat it some day, i assume they taste good, but i have a ton of butternut and this Jarrahdale must weigh 9 or 10 pounds so it'll be a lot to deal with once cut.

anyone store these that can give me some info?

thanks,

tom
